Notes About The Poem

All the Happiness

Buried in my garden
Along with my tears
Memories of kisses
Followed by the dark years

Walk inside my grey skies
Place my black robe upon your shoulders
Weep for the angel who never was
Wilted flowers now eaten by doves

Clouds hide the searing pain
Destiny mocks me, such disdain
Rain drops fall on my heartless soul
Happiness was lost, so very long ago
